Zombie Aggro distance

[SkinnyO 0]

I'm not sure if the community would agree with me, but I feel the zombies hearing is way too high. I understand and love it when I am in a city like Elektro or Cherno creeping from building to building to avoid detection, but right out of the spawn I can't run a short distance without aggroing 20 zombies. Is it just me, or does anyone else agree??

They do seem to be a tad over the top at the moment. That and all the leopard crawling you have to do now seems like an exercise in tedium.

When you crawl, your view is one bar. It use to be completely silent but the tweaks Rocket (or whoever) made the zombies get a great advantage.

gonna hafta agree on this.

the zombies need major work done. supposedly they have newer animations etc but it seems slow to get it in the game. their aggro range is a tad high, and im still seeing the wall glitch.

and why not add more zombies in the hills and woods? it would make traveling alot more interesting to say the least. id also suggest that not ALL of them run either, nothing wrong with a mass of slow zombies to crowd an area.

zombies are for the most part...dumb. im sure a gunshot would attract them to your area, but 20 of em? i like that the game is difficult but it can be just as difficult if its stuffed with different types everywhere. shamblers and runners mixed with each other would be a nice touch.

zombie patches are this game needs atm.

I've been getting a lot of zombies bum-rushing me from behind walls and shit lately... I get spotted when I'm not even moving (no visibility bars or hearing) and whatnot, it's frustrating. But hey, it's an alpha, right? :-/

I'm a new player so I'm sure that doesn't really help but I had a zombie aggro me without a clear cause. I was prone in the grass behind the building that I think another was hiding in. I'm not sure how I got his attention unless he wandered around and stepped on me. I got up and ran away but I couldn't lose him and eventually went down after risking a tree stand hoping for a weapon. Could just be bad luck though.
